ABSTRACT
The human being is a profoundly complex organism. Childhood begins with the innate ability to question, beginning with the proverbial “no” in questioning an adult’s authority to the more complex “why?” The need to know and understand is replicated with essential comments from children such as, “Mommie, why is the sky blue?” and “Daddy, where do babies come from?” These scientifically situated questions meet with mixed responses depending on those to whom the questions have been posed but are very real contextually based inquiry.
